<gnucode>what's the hurd translator that adds path based translators? <gnucode>also should we mark nfsv3 on the project ideas page as done? Wasn't there some work on that? <gnucode>"We once had the idead that we'd like a userspace version of GRUB for booting subhurds. Is this an idea worth following as a GSoC project?" <gnucode>a userspace version of grub sounds cool, but what would be the purpose of it? <gnucode>I suppose new Hurd users may prefer to graphically boot a subhurd. <azert>interesting the Daniel Versa email and Justus kind reply <azert>interesting that someone would appear with a fake name out of nowhere to bash a good idea and then disappear forever. “Oh no no no, not the cloud” :) <azert>also wtf all Google and Dropbox services are called the cloud are just private servers of a single big company <azert>a distributed filesystem for the Hurd would probably be really useful instead <gnu_srs>ZenWalker: Only ext2. Work is in progress to add journal support to that fs. <azert>ZenWalker: why do you need ext4? <azert>it's not clear if the hurd will ever support such filesystem <azert>I don't think it is currently a goal for anyone <azert>and even if gnu_srs mentioned journaling for you, that effort is not going to be ext4 compatible <gnucode>sneek later tell azert I don't see the Daniel or Justus email...also were you suggesting that I mention a distributed filesystem for the Hurd as a gsoc project? <sneek>Welcome back azert, you have 1 message! <sneek>azert, gnucode says: I don't see the Daniel or Justus email...also were you suggesting that I mention a distributed filesystem for the Hurd as a gsoc project? <azert>gnucode: way too hard for a summer project <gnucode>it's soo cool to be able to use dino on the Hurd! <gnucode>I just jmp.chat, which lets you send XMPP chat messages that are forwarded to SMS phone numbers. <gnucode>I guess I'm going to try to compile libdiskfs with the journaling subsystem. <gnucode>so I believe that I just built the hurd from source on debian hurd... <gnucode>now I'm not sure where the *.deb file is. <gnucode>I see files like this: hurd_0.9.git20240714-4_hurd-i386.deb <gnucode>I don't know where the 2025 image is... <gnucode>It should say something like 20250801 <nexussfan>gnucode: Yeah, just noticed that. On my hurd system it says that the Hurd package is on version 20250801. <sneek>nexussfan, you have 1 message! <sneek>nexussfan, youpi says: netinst does not need internet access, you can skip that step. You will still have the base installed already, and you can install the rest from the installed system <gnucode>nexussfan: you see a 20250801 version? <nexussfan>gnucode: maybe update your package cache if you're running debian. when i run `apt show hurd` it shows 20250801 <nexussfan>gnucode: oh. if you're compiling the hurd from the debian source package what Version does the debian/control file use? <gnucode>also I seem to be slowly running out of memory... <gnucode>I've got about 180 MiB of free memory at the moment. <gnucode>I've got a total of 1.5 GiB on this T43. <gnucode>My free amount of memory seems to be dropping. <nexussfan>gnucode: maybe reboot? or see what is using ram <gnucode>I'm running emacs, netsurf and a simple terminal. <gnucode>maybe when I cherry picked the libdiskfs patch, it caused some issues. <gnucode>quilt pop -a is giving me an error now <gnucode>Patch debian/patches/git-ports_interrupt_server does not remove cleanly (refresh it or enforce with -f) <nexussfan>gnucode: probably a code conflict? like it can't remove something from the code maybe? or maybe a filesystem issue? i wish i knew but I haven't wrote debian packages in a long time <azert>nexussfan: did you manage to activate the network on your t420 using the new rumpnet driver? <azert>gnucode: maybe you can just patch a vanilla rump and then just copy/replace the libdiskfs.so. Risky business but may work <gnucode>that does sound like risky business!
